“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

We sure miss His Excellency here in San Diego. Keep his name in your mind, I believe you’ll be hearing much more about him in the future.
Deo gratias.
His Excellency sure seems to celebrate the Extraordinary Form a lot.
Is there an American bishop who celebrates it more often? Outside of (the mess that is) China and aside from Bp. Rifan, is there a bishop in full communion with the Pope who celebrates it more often?
What’s with the green vimps?
I am not certain how often you would consider “a lot” or “more often,” but His Excellency Bishop Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph celebrates the traditional Mass fairly frequently. The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph has two recognized traditional societies (Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest & Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles) for which Bishop Finn celebrates Mass along with performing other episcopal functions such as consecrating churches, conferring the sacrament of Confirmation, presiding over Solemn Professions of nuns, and so forth.
TNCath: This Mass was on a Sunday after Pentecost, meriting green vestments. For the sake of the solemnity of the occasion, i.e. a Pontifical Solemn Mass, the vestments for the sacred ministers were gold, while the vimps and the bishop’s dalmatic (and tunicle) were green.
There are an abundance of traditional Masses in China?
The liturgical devastation kind of skipped China.
